Interesting video showing the Edward Green shoe making process:

a shoe fairy somewhere just saw the video and wet himself

Great video.

I had the priviledge of seeing all the stages depicted in the video first hand when I visited the Alfred Sargent factory. A great learning experience and thoroughly enjoyable.

In the video, EG use Kiwi shoe wax to do their finishing.

I see they fail to mention the detrimental effects of gemming. Smart move.

Just since the shoe nerds are here: St. Crispin's workshop

Thanks for posting, Furo! Hopefully I'll be adding on an extra day to my London trip so I can make it to Northampton next month.

I've died and gone to heaven! Oh wow!

Indeed was that THE Cliff Roberts? The plot thickens!

What also interests me is what they don't tell you. That video could have been taken in any of the Northampton factories - as Groover implies. Yet Edward Green shoes are more comfortable than most of the others - there's something they're doing that gives a far superior fit above and under the foot than most. And doesn't Hilary Freeman sound posh! I mean REALLY posh!
